You will most definitely see mixed reviews about this fragrance. I work for Estee Lauder and will admit that I HATE this soooooooo much, but you will not believe how much of it is still sold. The...

I bought my first bottle of Youth Dew when I was 28 years old, so I am living proof that it is NOT an old lady perfume! My husband and I bought a used car from a woman who doused herself in Youth...

I was given a bottle of this as a gift by a younger friend, and at first, I was a bit taken aback. "Youth Dew"? Was this some sort of snarky commentary on my thirtysomethingness? Then when I...

Don't be fooled by the name Youth Dew! It has to be one of the biggest misnomers in perfumery. Nothing girly or coy about this scent! As for the juice, it is unique, concentrated and...

Yes, old-fashioned, but no, not terrible. In fact, it's quite good. The first time I saw and tried this deeply dark and deeply sexy elixir I was hooked. As someone said before, you have to know how...

Yesterday, I was on the Vineyard, killing time in the incessant pouring rain by going to garage sales. Most of them were raindated, but one of them was inside, so my friend Abby and I went...

Hey, if Madonna likes it, it can't be all bad. There is a certain allure about something from the 1950's. But then again, I'm a '60s and '70s era gal. I like this stuff and yes, it really lasts.

Yes, this can be a heavy fragrance but you have to know how to wear it. I have many of the products: cologne, bath oil, body cream, powder, pure parfum... A little dab will do ya. The powder is...

Let me start out by saying that this type of scent is really "me" at all. it doesn't suit me, I prefer a softer , more romantic scent. Youth Dew is very spicey and woody. It's a take charge, vixen...

I simply must update my review of the divine (but, unfortunately, much-maligned) Youth-Dew. This is not a scent for those who think "youth" must smell like a fruity pink cocktail, or who are afraid...

The scent of insecticide. Nasty, resinous, nothing "youthful" about it. Smells like old wood in libraries and churches, with a whiff of mothballs thrown in. Not at all something I would ever...

A real old-fashioned bombshell perfume, best dabbed behind the ears in very sparing amounts! Stunning when worn well, which definitely requires a certain gravitas. Love the bottle, too.
